Product Details

Men At Arms - Tribes of the Sioux Nation, describes the horse culture of the tribes of the High Plains of North America lasted only some 170 years; yet in that time the sub-tribes of the Teton or Western Sioux people imprinted a vivid image on the world's imagination by their fearless but doomed fight to protect their hunting grounds from the inevitable spread of the white man. This text outlines the history, social organization, religion and material culture of the Santee, Yankton and Teton Sioux; rare early photographs include portraits of many of the great war chiefs and warriors of the Plains Indian Wars, and eight detailed plates record details of Sioux traditional costume.

One of the Men At Arms book series (see related items below, offered individually and as a set).

Men-At-Arms Book Series

The Men-At-Arms book series has earned itself a reputation of authenticity and expertise while chronicling an enormous range of distinct periods of time and place in human history. Micheal G. Johnson and Jason Hook have certainly accomplished this same effect (along with illustrators Jonathon Smith and Richard Hook) with this series covering the main regional and tribal diversities within Native American history. These books are full of photographs, maps, and beautiful illustrations to enhance its very informative text. SC
